Ribbon reelFree cross-stitch pattern

Ribbon reel is a cross-stitch pattern of 20 × 27 stitches from the Sewing Details album of Stitch Puzzle. It uses 5 DMC colours and 434 whole cross stitches, with no backstitch and no part stitches.

DMC 322 Baby Blue Dark covers the most cells, 140 stitches (32% of the design). The smallest amount is DMC 336 Navy Blue, with 16 stitches.

On 14-count Aida it measures 1.4 × 1.9 in (3.6 × 4.9 cm) and fits a 4-inch hoop. Cut the fabric at least 6 × 6 in (14 × 16 cm), so you have 2 in to spare on every side.
